45.12

taṃ dṛṣṭvā tu mahāśabdaṃ sa cakre ṛkṣarāḍbalī
śabdaṃ śrutvā tu govindaḥ khaḍgapāṇiḥ praviśya saḥ
apaśyajjāmbavantaṃ tam ṛkṣarājaṃ mahābalam //

Sometime after Śrīkṛiṣṇa, also went out to hunt in the forest and approached the very cave of the bear, when the beast seeing him began to groan and growl, at which he entered the cave with sword in hand. He found the bear to be Jâmbavanta, the King of all bears. He then hastily, with great valour, made Jâmbavanta a captive and then turned his eyes full of wrath towards him. The King of the bears then pleased Lord Śrīkṛiṣṇa, the manifestation of Viṣṇu, with his devotion.—12-15.
